Photography – Chicago
Charles Andre Thomas was born in 1987 in Chicago, Illinois. Charles’s main passion and occupation is graphic design and illustration. Since his childhood he used to draw all the time. Later, being a teenager, he became a visual artist; in fact that taught and inspired him a lot in his coming professional work. At the age of 15 when he got into computers, influenced by cd covers, fashion, technology and comics, he started creating his first digital artworks. Almost instantly, it turned into a real passion.
After a couple years of experimenting in Fashion and Graphic work, it got more serious when his first commercial work was printed. Then came the time for studies. Charles studied in the Visual Communications department of the International Academy of Design and Technology.
Shortly a magazine agency discovered him and employed him as a Fashion Contirbutor, but he quickly moved up the ladder and became an Art Director of the magazine. He also runs his own freelance design project called Creatistic Studio, creating posters, flyers, brochures, advertisings, packaging, logotypes, identities, illustrations, and web sites, gaining a lot of skills and experience. His recent venture has been in photography where Charles was able to catch all of his vision through a lens.
